The aim of this study was to determine the factor structure of three standardized memory tests : Wechsler Memory Scale - Revised (WMS - R), Warrington Recognition Memory Test (WRMT), Doors and People Test (D & P). We investigated whether these different standardized tests of memory are consistent in their evaluation of memory function, and the extent to which these tests} discriminate between different memory functions (e. g. recall recognition and (verbal non - verbal memory). Design. Fifty patients with selective memory impairment were tested on the WMS - R, WRMT and D & P. Methods. Age - scaled scores from selective measures of these tests (WMS - R - verbal, WMS - R - visual, WMS - R - delay, WRMT - words, WRMT - faces, D & P - people, D & P - doors, D & P - shapes, D & P - names) were used as input to a factor analysis. Results. Maximum likelihood factor analysis yielded a three - factor solution consistent with a theoretically motivated fractionation of memory function into recall and recognition components. Recognition performance, but not recall performance, showed dissociation into visual and verbal components. Conclusions. The WMS - R, WRMT and D & P are highly consistent in their assessment of memory function. The results of the factor analysis are consistent with a theoretically motivated fractionation of recall and recognition memory. They are also partially consistent with a dissociation between visual and verbal memory function. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
